حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حَائِطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ يَرْكُزُ بِعُودٍ مَعَهُ بَيْنَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ، إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: «افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ: فَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ، فَقَالَ: «افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُمَرُ، فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ، قَالَ فَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ عَلَى بَلْوَى تَكُونُ» قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، قَالَ: فَفَتَحْتُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ وَقُلْتُ الَّذِي قَالَ، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ صَبْرًا، أَوِ اللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ.

While Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was in one of the gardens of Medina, reclining against a pillow and fixing a stick in a mud, that a person came asking for the gate to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise and, lo, it was Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ . I opened (the gate) for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another person asked for the door to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Piradise. He said: I went away and, lo, it was 'Umar. I opened it for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then still another man asked for the door to be opened, and thereupon Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Paradise after a trial would afflict him. I went and, saw, it was 'Uthman bjn 'Affan رضی اللہ عنہ. I opened the door and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise and informed him (what the Prophet had said). Thereupon he said: O Allah, grant me steadfastness. Allah is one Whose help is to be sought.
